Which

I kind of hate. The reason we liked Belinda in the first season was because when Tanya called for the massage, she told her there were no massages

even though there were. Right. And we liked the staff and how they were sort of spiteful. Exactly. Exactly. They were like bitchy. And I feel like now it feels like the staff is so genuine for the most part because maybe because it's like woo-woo. Except for Valentine. But like it's woo-woo they're supposed to be. Yeah. But I need them to be spiteful because like I love the ongoing trope in White Lotus of like Americans being the most annoying tourists on planet Earth. Yeah. And like. And fuck with them a little. And like fuck with them a little and be like, kind of be in on the joke and whatever. I mean that one, I'm forgetting her name. Pam. Australian. The one who is with the family. Yeah. She is the only one who is kind of like, you guys are absurd. And I like that. I agree. Yeah. She also might be like, I think there's something there too.

Well, did you notice that Gay Talk heard Timothy when he was on the phone? What's he going to do with that information? Does he even know what he heard? He was pretty clear. He

was pretty clear.

Am I implicated?

Yeah. He's

hot. Yeah, he is.

Yeah. Just saying. Yeah. He's a hot money launderer. I feel like it will be significant that he overheard. Even if he doesn't know, he's going to pass it on and it will be like a game of telephone and something will start to get out.

Right. Okay. I know this maybe is a little technical, but don't you think that both of those stories in the Wall Street Journal and Washington Post would have ran already? Because usually you get like 24 hours. Like he'd be the last person to ask for comment. Totally. So he would have 24 hours. It'd be out.

I don't know. I really like your theory that the other guy's already flipped. I really like that theory. I think that I hadn't heard that or thought about that. And I think you're right. Just because he couldn't reach him. Because he couldn't reach him. Exactly. Yeah. And then saying, I'm going to burn her phone.

Well, I mean, yeah. I mean, he would be on a burner phone.

He would be, but I feel like it was a special. He was calling him from a different phone to record it.

I mean, that's how he would get out of trouble. Shit. And maybe that's why he was like so flippantly saying like, I'm going to kill myself because he's like, wants it to seem really desperate. Super dramatic, yeah. Like, I don't know what to do. Super dramatic, yeah. That's what the time zone, I think. That's why I think he keeps commenting on the time zone to like, a day is passing where he is not. And he's just like freaking out the whole time. What's crazy to me is that a quarter of the season is over and there's only been two. Oh,

that makes me depressed. I just also thought this is like too out there, but I was like, Timothy, like he's not going to go down. Like, I just know he's too evil. And then I was like, well, maybe his wife will take the fall. And that's so funny because take the fall, like the staircase, like take the fall. But why would she take the fall? I have no idea. But like one thing I know is Timothy's not going to jail. Is there financial stuff in the staircase or is it more just like murdery? No, it was like, it was like sexual, like weird. He got annoyed with her. I think I might be misremembering that.

I need to go back and like reread the story of the staircase. And there's too many similarities. It sounded very, like even I, who I had not watched the staircaseaircase, I'm like, this is very, very similar and

it can't be on the podcast. Also, Parker Posey played a lawyer in The Staircase as well. Oh, they were both in it. They were both in it. There was just too many similarities. I need to go re-familiarize myself with that story, but

I don't know. I'm curious why he picked like that of all the things. Maybe it's just like, oh, he wanted to have a story that was like-

A little crossover. I think it's cool. I like it. Yeah. Okay, last person, Belinda. What are you thinking about her? Again, it's kind of like a slow start with her storyline. She's like observing things, like thinks that guy has a hot body.
